Here we go, around and around

[Ryland Ren]

"... oh. I guess... I did."

[Aldon Huang]

"Are you really having doubts? About my feelings?"

[Ryland Ren]

"Maybe. I don't know. A little?! I just don't understand how you can tell me you love me but be with somebody else."

[Aldon Huang]

"It's like... being pulled in 2 different directions. But not like a tug-of-war because... I love you and Gregg for different reasons. I guess it's hard to imagine if it's not happening to you.

Like... having 2 favorite flavors of ice cream. But. Deeper. Having 2 people you can't live without. And it doesn't feel... complete without you both."

[Ryland Ren]

"I don't know how you do it, Ald."

[Aldon Huang]

"Do what? Be dumb?"

:<

"I was born this way... I think."

[Ryland Ren]

"No, just... I don't know."

/sighs

"You make it sound so easy."

[Aldon Huang]

"It could be easy! We don't know until we try, right?"

[Ryland Ren]

"Maybe for you. But don't you think ALL parties involved should want it the way you do? Otherwise it's just... settling. And settling never works out for anybody in the end."

[Aldon Huang]

"Of course! I love you guys, I want you both to be happy! I know it's not all about me...

But if there's some kinda compromise... We'd be wrong not to try everything we can!"

[Ryland Ren]

"Maybe... but where is your compromise?"

[Aldon Huang]

"...my compromise... is having two people who love me tell me what a dummy I am..."

[Ryland Ren]

"Well....... that's not really a compromise."

[Aldon Huang]

"Then what do you want from me?"

[Ryland Ren]

"I don't know anymore."
